Poor by Comparison - By: Dave T, 23 Dec 2008 
This is by far the worst of the Jack Reacher series. Too far fetched, a bit tedious & on the whole disappointing.
Antoher good Reacher outing - By: Mohamed, 09 Nov 2008 
As far as thrillers go this was good, not brilliant but good. The characters were deep & enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, & plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan & enjoy Child & Michael Connelly books immensely, if you like that kind of thriller read the `Soft Target` books by Conrad Jones. They are unputdownable!! Back to the review, ten out of ten.
WEAK - By: A. Smythe, 07 Nov 2008 
I own all the Reacher books & have been a fan since the start.
This is easily the weakest outing for Lee Child & Reacher, i really had to force myself to care enough to finish it.
The paper thin plot left me wondering exactly what Reacher's motivation was to get involved at all. There wasn't a single characterin the book who seemed very threatening or dangerous, therefore denying the reader any real tension or intrigue.
It has it's moments, but these are few & far between.
For top drawer Reacher action try the following:
Killing Floor, Die Trying, Tripwire, Persuader, The Enemy, Without Fail.
Nothing to Lose - Lee Child - By: Robin Bacon, 06 Nov 2008 
What a disappointment - this is really not up to the normal standards for Jack Reacher. Sure he is as tough as ever, taking on all comers with ease, but it is not an enthralling storyin the same way that the majority of Lee Child's tales are of Jack Reacher's adventures. Hopefully the next one will be better as we really like 'Jack' & there is plenty of lifein him yet!
£10 to Lose - By: Matt Gibson, 17 Oct 2008 
I've enjoyed several of the Jack Reacher novels. I don't come to them expecting a lot, just some entertaining fluff, really, to keep me distracted on a long journey, say. Unfortunately, "entertaining fluff" is far too high a bar to set for "Nothing to Lose". A pointless, rambling & utterly tension-less book, with characters that don't even make it as far as one dimension, & plot holes you could drive a container truck through.
Save your money; there's higher drama & more believable charactersin a re-run of Diagnosis Murder.
